“Spokes has continued to help us by establishing clear bylaws, helping us through trainings and workshops, and by creating job descriptions for our board and executive director. Spokes has been a great resource, helping to hire our executive director and set bylaws. Spokes has also helped us organize and train our volunteers…I have loved attending the Spokes workshops.

The workshops, and Spokes in general, have made our organization more efficient and effective in what we do.”
